In the oil and gas industry, safety isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. From offshore rigs to inland refineries, every operation comes with risks: combustible materials, extreme conditions, high-pressure systems, and remote locations. 🚨
Traditional safety training—manuals, videos, classroom lectures—often fall short in preparing teams for real-world hazards.
The solution? 🎯 Immersive safety training powered by 360° virtual tours.
This breakthrough technology gives teams a fully interactive, site-specific walkthrough experience before ever setting foot in the danger zone.
In this post, we’ll explore how immersive virtual tours are changing the safety game for oil and gas companies—and link to other high-impact articles so you can dive deeper.
Immersive virtual tour training uses 360° photography or video, layered with interactive elements like:
Trainees “step inside” their work environment using a computer, tablet, mobile phone, or VR headset — learning by doing, not just by watching. 🧠
